Get in the loop and celebrate World Hoop Day on Saturday, Oct. 3 at Ephrata Main Theatre, 124 E. Main St., Ephrata.

There will be a 10 a.m. on-stage performance, followed by a 11:30 hoop-making playshop for kids age 6 and up. Audience members will be treated to interactive circus style performances including hooping, juggling, and poi spinning from a troupe of local talent. Concessions will be open for purchase before and after the performance. At the workshop, children will decorate their own hoop to take home and will learn some hoop skills from members of the troupe.
